How can I make money online from home?
Hello, wikiHow. I’m currently trying to move out of my parents’ home but I’m just not making enough money at my normal day job to do that in any realistic time. I’d love to speed the process up by picking up a side hustle, but here’s the problem. My day job is at a restaurant and it’s usually pretty busy. I’m so exhausted by the time that I get home that the idea of going out to do a second job just sounds impossible. I just wouldn’t be able to do it. I was thinking I’d pursue something online, but I don’t really know what the most realistic or viable? What can I do to make money from home? I’m pretty good on a computer, but I just can’t tell what’s legit or not when I search for jobs.
Strategies to win the lottery?
Are there any tricks to winning the lottery? I mostly play scratch-offs and stuff like that, but I’m beginning to wonder if there are any games or strategies I should know about. I always kind of thought it was just random, but I know a guy who swears by this thing where he buys tickets at a certain time? I don’t know. What’s the deal? Are there strategies or no?

What is the cheapest way to ship a package?
I'm regularly selling things online and I feel like the price to send a package has just gone up and up recently. These higher prices have really been eating through my shipping budget and I just need a better option for my wallet. Is there some courier service that you prefer using that's more budget-friendly? There might be ways for me to split shipments into smaller packages, but sometimes I'm sending big items so would love advice for either.
What are the easiest, safest methods to send money to someone?
So I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty good at this adulting thing but I’ve never sent money to someone. Friends will talk about sending each other monety to split the cost of dinner or concert tickets or whatever but I always just pay someone in cash because I’m kind of paranoid about screwing this up and losing the money somehow. How can I send money to someone super safely?
How do I even start saving for a house
I have always wanted to own my own house, but I don't know where to begin. It feels like an impossible dream, especially since I live in Washington, D.C., where the median home price is about $700k.
But, I live with my partner, so we save money splitting rent/utilities, and I just got a job where I can finally start putting aside some money with each paycheck, so I figure I can slowly start saving up and cross my fingers it's enough. But it's still so hard, and it just feels like the meager amounts I'm able to save aren't enough. So, those of you who have bought a house in a place with a high COL, how did you manage? We're tethered to the area by career/family, so we really can't buy a house in a cheaper area. Any tips/apps/budgeting advice?

What counts as a good credit score and how do I improve mine?
I'm 25 and trying to get a handle on my finances, starting with my credit score. I see all kinds of advice about how to maximize your credit score online, but a lot of it's confusing or even seems contradictory. I'm wondering, what counts as a good score (mine is about 700 right now)? What does a "good score" even mean/what does it get you? How can you improve your score? What should my score be? I'm not planning to buy a house or anything any time soon, but what should I be aiming for when it comes time to do that?
Sorry for the overload of questions, I just feel overwhelmed! When it comes to this stuff, it's like I don't even know what I don't even know. Any and all help appreciated!
